My only real hope for later today, is for a Nendoroid Claude von Riegan (post timeskip) to get announced. And the same for Dimitri.

I was a little tempted to add movie versions of Ballister and Ambrosius from the Netflix Nimona movie. But I'm not sure yet, if I'm as obsessively fixated enough on them, enough to want figures.

The Golden Deer's post timeskip versions used to take up 2 squares. So when I consolidated them into 1 square and freed up another square, I was about to add some older picks that left my bingo cards by now:

Nendoroid school version Persona 5 protagonist with bloody Persona Awakening face.

Pop Up Parade Skull (Persona 5).

Figma school uniform Ryuji Sakamoto (Persona 5).

Nendoroid cat protagonist from Stray.

Nendoroids of the remaining Akizuki class KanColle girls.

Nendoroids related to Date & Sanada: Yonezawa Castle, Sendai Castle, Osaka Castle (Shiro Hime Quest).

Skull-Face Bookseller Honda-san

Then I remembered that I've been wanting Megurine Luka Nendoroids to return. I'd like a re-release of the original. But it'd always be nice to get all these versions that both Miku and the Kagamine twins have been getting. Like Harvest Moon, Symphony 2022 (Symphony 5th Anniversary), yukata/kimono, etc. I'd really love for other Vocaloids to get Snow versions too.

Good Smile Company didn't provide a bingo card template this time. So I was about to reuse my WonHobby36 version but change the logo. Then I remembered that I've always wanted to make icons out of the official figure line/brand logos. So I made this new bingo card mostly from scratch, with all the icons and figure types that I wanted.

[mysticdragon3md3]

There were only 2 figure announcements from WonHobby37 that might tempt me to buy them. Nendoroid Ginko from Mushishi and Nendoroid 808 from Hifi Rush.

Picture sources: http://whl4u.jp/wh37/gallery/en/

But I could say a something about other announcements that caught my interest:

Nendoroid Doll Joker

I don't intend to buy Nendoroid Doll Joker, since I already have his Nendoroid. But I also prefer Nendoroid proportions over Nendoroid Doll. And Nendoroid Dolls are like $70!

Qset+ Persona protagonists

I'm only really interested in Persona 5's protagonist, but P5 did make me interested in Persona, in general, so I'm glad to see all of these. Also, new figure line is very cute.

Nendoroid Nichijou Keiichi Arawi Versions

I already have the original Nendoroid Hakase and original Nendoroid Nano, so I wasn't planning to get these new Keiichi Arawi versions. But if I had the money, I would have bought them, and I would probably buy these too.

Nendoroid Doll Outfit Set: Long Length Chinese Outfit (Dragon/Panda)

I love fabric patterns, so even though I don't collect Nendoroid Dolls, I'm glad these exist. They're very pretty. I've been thinking of getting at least one Nendoroid Doll one day, and when I do, it'd be nice to have these outfits.

POP UP PARADE Rihito Sajo & Hikaru Kusakabe

I'm not into this series/movie or static scale figures, but I like formalwear, and it's nice to see male characters get more figures.

Hetalia Nendoroid Dolls

I used to be into the Allies from Hetalia, but I do love seeing Hetalia suddenly getting all these Nendoroids and now, Nendoroid Dolls. I wonder if this means the Allies will get Nendoroid Dolls too. I know a lot of US/Alfred fans would love to put him into his brown military uniform from the anime's first season, and a Nendoroid Doll would make that a whole lot easier.

[mysticdragon3md3]

Finally going to see what figures were announced at the WonHobby37 gallery. Here we go. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! i'M AFRAID TO LOOK!

Picture source: https://twitter.com/gsc_goodsmile/status/1685561619215179776

That vampire Miku with the weird face I don't like.

Bocchi the Rock.

I'm going ot guess Vtubers and Honkai Star Rail/Genshin Impact.

Bobobobo.

Oishi no Ko.

Of course, Demon Slayer.

What's this wafuku apron anime?

Licoris Recoil getting Nendo Dolls. I heard that anime was popular, but I forgot popular series are getting Nendo Dolls on top of regular Nendos now.

Forgot about Jujutsu Kaisen.

Are..Is that an extra faceplate set for Jujustu Kaisen??????????

I'm so out of the loop. Is there anything that makes you feel older than just not being into SO MANY popular series? (Besides aches and pains lol)

Don't care about Minions.

My Hero Academia.

OH MY GAWD IS THAT MUSHISHI????????????????????????????? ^O^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Are KanColle coming back or is that Azure Lane?

Oh, yeah, Joker was getting a Nendo Doll. Always love to see Persona 5.

Wait, Hetalia is getting Nendo Dolls too? o.O

I'm going to guess the guy with a 10 on his shirt is from Haikyuu, but I don't recognize him. I need to catch up on that series.

Who are these guys with gotees and normal clothes? Oh, wait, are those the other band members from Given?

Elden Ring Nendos. Excellent.

Hunter x Hunter person.

Toothless Nendo got painted.

What's Nikke?

Danganronpa.

omg 3 Nichijou Nendos all in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^o^

Dragon Maid---O my gawd, Kobayashi got a Nendo too! About time!

These are really pretty patterned Chinese clothes for Nendoroid Dolls.

Why is there a whole new Nendoroid Doll Archetype? What makes this one different? Oh, "Kids". It's a child.

Regular pants for Nendo Dolls. That's nice. Kind of similar to how I wnated a set of jeans and Tshirts for Nendoroid More…Again, Nendo Dolls keep getting accessories that are suspiciously like my requests for Nendoroid Dress Up sets.

Fate Grand Order.

More people I don't know.

I'm going to guess "Sky" is an indie game.

OMG IT'S 808 FROM HI FI RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to need to get that kitty!

Netflix version Castlevania Rictor is getting a Nendoroid, and that new series hasn't even been out yet!

More 02 stuff. I guess I should have seen a Nendo Doll of her coming.

Hey, the Medicine Seller from Mononoke! I didn't know people were still into that series1

And this BL series "Classmates", that ALSO was SOME TIME AGO. Y'know, earlier someone said that my wish for FE3H Nendoroids was foolish because it's been a while since FE3H was popular. I said that lots of series are getting Nendos years after their popularity, like Dragon Maid. But freaking Classmates and Mononoke??????? Dude. Nothing off the table, just for being not the zeitgeist for a few years.

That pink haired girl with the pigtails looks familiar. Isn't she like a famous yandere or something?

And is that a Kaichou wa Maid-sama character? A series from 2005-2013!

And these sports characters look like from manga from YEARS ago! …"Mr. Fullswing" from 2001-2006…OK, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE ABOUT HOW FE3H CAN'T GET NENDOROIDS NOW BECAUSE IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE IT WAS SO POPULAR.

Ok. Another disappointing figure event. I'm just not into as much anime as I used to be, for me to even recognize most of these characters, let alone to be attached to them enough to want to buy their Nendoroids.

I feel like until I get FE3H Claude and Dimitri Nendoroids, I just can't get excited about any new figures. Because any new figures just feel like money I could be saving for FE3H Nendoroids…if they eventually come. But I've spent so many years collecting, where I thought a series I liked wouldn't get Nendoroids, so I splurged on other merch, and then Nendoroids for that series would get announced. It just KEPT HAPPENING. So I don't know why FE3H is not following suit. Intelligent Systems even said they'd be participating in WonHobby37! FE3H has a lot of great designs! They'd make wonderful figures! On par with all these Vtubers and Fate characters I don't know. But I guess that's the thing: all these characters are likely very popular, and I'm just out of the loop. -_- I'm sure there are lots of people who have been happy with many of these announcements. Just like the past several WonHobbys that didn't have FE3H Nendos. But I feel like, all this time I've been holding out for FE3H Nendos, anything that isn't Claude and Dimitri, I just can't get excited over, enough to spend money on. My OTP has raised a high bar. If this keeps happening, I'll just stop being excited about Nendoroid collecting and figure collecting IN GENERAL. I can see that happening to me eventually. I'm kind of scared, because I feel bad for all the past hobbies/collecting I've dropped off from: manga, anime, comic books, dragons, etc. These things used to be MY WHOLE WORLD. I feel bad looking back and seeing how they've fallen to the wayside. ;;

I guess I can be excited for Nendoroid 808 from Hifi Rush and Nendoroid Ginko from Mushishi. Then I can finally do Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou Nendoroid photoshoot crossovers. It should be great.

…Still really deflated thAt FE3H didn't get Nendoroids AGAIN. I thought I kept my hopes down, but then as the houses for the gallery opening crept up, I suddenly had all the hope again. Maybe the only way to stop is to just stop being obsessed with FE3H. Netflix's version of Nimona has been helping me out with that lately. Maybe I should put some effort into it and fully get into Ambrosius/Ballister, forget about FE3H, then I can stop being enormously disappointed at every WonHobby, like the past few years. (Then when I've forgotten about FE3H, maybe then it'll finally get Nendoroids announced.)

Man, I used to be into PERSONA 5. That used to be my whole world! AkiRyu was my OTP! Persona 5 is still so freaking popular, that these WonHobby announcements never disappointed me! Because there would always be SOMETHING Persona 5 announced. At this past WonHobby, there were several Persona 5 Royal figures announced, and now at WonHobby37, we have the painted prototype reveal of Nendoroid Doll Joker!!! …I miss being fixated on only Persona 5. ;_;

Oh, wait. The gallery filter had "Nendoroids" automatically on. I don't normally care for figures that aren't Nendoroids, but maybe there will be something interesting in the other figure lines. After all, Intelligent Systems did say they were participating in WonHobby37, and I haven't seen any Fire Emblem Nendoroids yet. Maybe they announced some nice FE3H scale figures, more Pop Up Parades, or post timeskip Figma? o! I prefer Nendoroids, but I'd also LOVE post timeskip Figma of Claude and Dimitri!

Is that an alternate color Bridget?! o Oh, it's a Pop Up Parade! That's why they can afford to make alternate colors.

Oh, it's Alucard. Must be the Pop Up Parade that got announced last time.

Forgot to notice those Blue Exorcist Nendos before.

Lots of bikini boobies in a row.

Forgot to note these Aria Nendos. People have been waiting on those for a logn time, and it looked for a while they'd be dead, with their original figure producer going out of business. But now their Nendoroids are painted. Good for them.

WHAT ARE THESE CUTE PERSONA PROTAGONIST CHIBI!?!?!??????????????????????? O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is this figure line? I don't recognize this figure line! What's a "Qset+"? Persona 3 protag is listed as from Persona 3 Portable. Speaking of, if they had announced a figure of P3's female protag, they would have really made money from the fanbase. lol Anyway, these concept arts are cute. I like that they have different chairs, all for their different styles/tones.

Hey, it's a big Pochita. What's a "PLAMAX"? Is that an enormous vinyl figure?

Chainsaw Man Hello Good Smile. I should have seen that coming, but I didn't. lol

Is that Attack on Titan BABY VERSIONS??????? I didn't even know if the baby figure set for Tokyo Revengers went well or not! And then last month or something Nendoroid More baby accessories also got announced. Someone is really on a baby figure kick over at GoodSmile right now. lol What's this figure line called?…"Akatans". Ok, LOL. "They are baby." LOL

MORE BABIES????? But for Fate Grand Order?---No, it's that Skate Infinity series or something---"SK8 the Infinity".

These Pop Up Parades of the "Classmates"/"Doukyusei" characters in white suits look pretty.

Again, more of this "Qset" figure line I've never heard of. But for 13 Sentinels this time. I guess since they're not sitting in chairs, they're "Qset" instead of "Qset+"? Also, it's also listed as "Good Smiel Arts Shanghai" too…Is this a figure line that's only produced by GSC Shanghai? Are they chibi static figures or something? What are they?

Anyway, I still didn't see any Fire Emblem, to at least keep my hope alive for more FE3H figures, hopefully Nendoroids, in the figure. So I'm still disappointed. But Intelligent Systems said they were participating in WonHobby37. Did they just display all those Fire Emblem static scales that were previously announced a couple months ago? I guess so, because there's no "Fire Emblem" listed on the online gallery AT ALL. They probably just have physical displays of their previously announced figures at Good Smile's physical WonHobby gallery in Japan. Nothing new to announce, so nothing on the online gallery. ;_;

At least Joker is still looking cool.

Maybe I just need to get back into buying figures, so I don't lose a love for this hobby. Just throw money away on characters I'm not even that obsessed with. Because barely anything will rival Dimiclaude at this point; I shouldn't adhere to just that bar. I shouldn't have passed up those figures I wanted from last month's Memorial Day sale. Those were BIG discounts. I could have gotten that Horimiya Nendo's hair, for only $30, painted it yellow, made it into a custom Nendo Dimitri. I should have gotten Nendo Donatello. And those plushies for Code Geass and Guilty Gear. Well, I guess the Guilty Gear preorders are still open.

But still, when it comes to new announcements, I can't help feeling that so many WonHobbys in a row, where I wasn't too interested in anything…makes me feel like I'm getting out of figure collecting.

Well, that's that. Disappointed. Big time. AGAIN. I set myself up for disappointment, and I get disappointment. x_x;;;;;

At least some people on Twitter agreed with my comments wishing for FE3H Nendos. ;u;

[mysticdragon3md3]

Ok. Done with stuff. Now I'm free to see what figures were announced at the WonHobby37 gallery. omg I'm nervous! I know FE3H Nendoroids probably won't be there AGAIN, but it's nice to hope. ;~;

[mysticdragon3md3]

At 6pm PST today, the gallery opens, and we see if there are any good figure announcements.

But in case Good Smile starts posting announcements 1hr early again, here's their official Twitters: https://twitter.com/gsc_kahotan https://twitter.com/GoodSmile_US

Intelligent Systems is one of the listed exhibitors, so I really hope we get some Fire Emblem Three Houses Nendoroids announced this time.

[mysticdragon3md3]

I was once again hoping for Fire Emblem 3 Houses Nendoroids, but looks like we might just get a bunch of general Fire Emblem scale figures instead. Yipee? Good for everyone who loves scake figures, but i need Nendoroids. Or at least articulated figures.

👀🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

Yesterday, i was worried about no figure announcements at AX2023. Though GSC usually fills their AX panels with figure announcements, their panel this year us all about a Studio Trigger guest instead.

Then so soon, I'm reminded of WonFes.

Then thos announcement about WonHobby37.

🥹💖🎊🥳
